Topic: Water temperature gauge for a '36

  Recently purchased new water pumps for my '36 from Drake. Need a new water temperature gauge, either electric or mechanical. Who manufactures one that will fit this pump?

  You may need to use a bushing adapter, but most any mechanical modern temp gauge should work. Take one of your pumps to the auto parts store where they sell the newer gauges and try one in the pump.

  Have found that mechanical water temperature gauges manufactured by both Bosch and Equus will fit the Drake water pumps without adapters. Possibly other manufacturers gauges will also work.

  This temp gauge is a working gauge,
the tubing is 48 inch long,
I think it would work in your 36,might not be correct
but will do the job,
why not use a original type in your car ?
let me know, 37RAGTOPMAN

  Thanks, I bought the Bosch gauge. If I could have found an original type I would have preferred it.

  I have 2 Bosch temp gauges in my 51 Crestliner
I just feel they are more accurate then original
gauges
